  • Summary

  • Good morning, this is Indianapolis Local Pulse for January 24, 2025.

    We're starting off with some breaking news. Governor Braun has issued new executive orders, shifting the focus from Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) to Merit, Excellence, and Innovation (MEI), and state workers are being asked to return to the office. This change is expected to have significant impacts on state operations and policies[1].

    Moving on to the job market, we have some exciting updates. Indeed.com lists over 1,100 job openings in Indianapolis, including positions at major employers like Eskenazi Health and various manufacturing companies. Notable postings include Event Staff for the 2025 season, Machine Operators, and Customer Service Team Members. The tech sector is particularly booming, with over 121,600 tech jobs available as of 2023, and median tech salaries exceeding $104,000. Companies like Salesforce are creating over 1,500 new positions, and skills-focused hiring is on the rise[2][5].

    In real estate news, we don't have any major updates today, but we'll keep an eye on the market for you.

    From City Hall, the recent executive orders are the main focus, but we'll also be watching for any new developments in zoning and property development.

    Weather-wise, it's bitterly cold today, but a warm-up is on the way. Be sure to bundle up if you're heading out, and check the forecast for the latest updates[1].

    In new business activity, we have a variety of openings and changes around the city. Keep an eye out for new restaurants and shops in your neighborhood.

    Upcoming community events include the Indy Ignite volleyball match against the San Diego Mojo tonight at 7:05 p.m. Pacific Time, though that's not local, we're proud of our team competing nationally. Locally, check out the Traders Point shopping center for various events and activities[4].

    In local school achievements, we have several schools excelling in sports and academics. We'll highlight those stories in future updates.

    For a feel-good community story, we're looking at the impact of EmployIndy's programs, which are making tech careers accessible to everyone, with an 88% participation rate from students of color and 44% women in their programs[5].

    In today's crime report, there was a significant incident at the Traders Point shopping center, where a robbery victim fired a weapon and injured a suspect. We urge everyone to stay safe and aware of their surroundings[1].

    This has been Indianapolis Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
